Happy {Long} Weekend + Links I Love

Happy Saturday and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers. What are you doing over the weekend? I am fighting a cold over here, so I am keeping things simple with loads of rest and a Thanksgiving potluck with close friends on Sunday. This week, the conversation on children’s rights and gender equality continues.

If you are staying indoors or lounging around this weekend, here’s a bunch of reads to keep you occupied. Enjoy!

+ “This award is for all those children who are voiceless, whose voices need to be heard.” Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teenager and impassioned advocate for girls’ education, became the youngest recipient of the award. She shares the honour with Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi. The head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said it “regards it as an important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism.”
